Use Your Intuition

When you explore yourself on the inner plane, you are working with intuition. It’s a common misconception that intuition is at odds with science, but Einstein himself said that what separated him from atheists was that “they cannot hear the music of the spheres.” In truth, science and spirituality both depend upon intuition, for the greatest scientific discoveries are made through creative leaps, rather than by following a linear trail of established facts.

The path to joy consists of making your intuitions deeper and more accessible.

On the spiritual path you come to realize certain basic principles. As these principles unfold, reality shifts. Mere belief cannot transform the events around you, but realization can. It’s the difference between believing that you are blessed and actually observing the action of grace in the world.

Intuition may often tell you something that is ... but struggles with a bombardment of other features which dilutes its growth.

Find a quiet place, take yourself there, and straighten it out. You can do this, try it, you'll see.

Einstein quotes regarding vegetarian diet coupled with his music if the spheres reference lead to the inference that he may have been a mystic. Only within the inner third eye regions does one hear the music, the Word, Logos (Pythagoras), and see the light. Many quantum physicists/theorists are heading into this same mystical conclusion, that this realm is the illusion, matter does not exist, only energy/vibration (The Logos, Word, music of the spheres, Tao, Om Aum Amen etc) exists, and all is one, nothing is separate. Our conscious choices are cause and effect.

A jazz musician plays a solo with intuition based on knowledge of the chords surrounding the music. He is not aware of exactly what his next notes will be, yet they flow out in a perfect blending with the song structure. this is the way we can live our lives. With spontaneous intuition based on an aware consciousness of the divine matrix, another word for which is God. All we need is a quiet contemplative life in order to access the intuition. Meditation is helpful but we must be willing to take the "risk" of allowing the divine nature to guide us into action. No one person is more able than another to live this way. We are all equal in our creativity, harmony and perfect intuition. Thank you for reading. Sat Nam!
